The Alliance for American Quilts held a number of "fun" fundraisers last weekend and one of our lucky TQS Members won a ticket to attend Marianne & Jay on the Runway. Karen Fitzpatrick (kfstitcher) got to spend the afternoon with Marianne Fons (you know, Fons & Porter) and her daughter Mary of the new show Quilty. Also in attendance, Jay McCarroll, first-season winner of Project Runway who now designs for FreeSpirit and to top it off, the outrageous Mark Lipinski who interviews a very confused Jay McCarroll for the Quilters' S.O.S - Save Our Stories project.
Thanks so much to Karen for sharing this smilebox with us!

Enjoy this little tidbit from a wonderful quilt show and mark your calendars for next year, August 3rd and 4th.
